Abstract

Thin CaF2 films were grown at low temperatures (20°C) using an ion-beamassisted laser evaporation method. Smooth, dense, environmentally stable coatings with bulk refractive indices were produced. This technique was applied to deposit mid-wave IR dichroic filters using CaF2 and Ge layers onto cold substrates.
